What makes the sea so buoyant?
Salt makes sea water more buoyant. The Dead Sea has the most salt of any sea in the world, and even people who cannot swim have no problem floating in it.
Why aer people able to float higher in the dead sea?
The water is more dense due to a higher salinity, therefore a person is more buoyant.
Why was the Dead Sea nicknamed the asphalt sea?
the dead sea has a lot of salt so it is very buoyant
Does anybody live near the dead sea?
Yes, lots of people live near the Dead Sea, which is also a popular tourist destination (lots of people find it amusing to go swimming in the Dead Sea because the extra salty water is abnormally dense, and people therefore are more buoyant than they would be in the ocean). The Dead Sea is on the border between Israel and Jordan, which is a densely populated region.
Why can we float in Dead Sea even if we can't swim?
The higher the salt content of seawater, the more buoyant the water is. And the Dead Sea has the highest salt content of any body of water in the world.
Why is it easy to float in the dead than other places?
I assume you mean the dead sea? It is because of the high level of salt in the water. The salt makes you more "buoyant" floaty than normal water
Will sea water or river water provide more buoyant force?
Sea water will carry you "higher" and with more ease.
Can an anchor float in the dead sea?

Which is more salty Black Sea or dead sea?
Dead Sea.
Why you can float better in the sea than in the swimming pool?
The salinitiy of the water allows you to be more buoyant.
How does buoyancy get affected by the amount salt added?
Simply, the greater the amount of salf dissolved in a body of water ('salinity') the greater its upward buoyancy force (more buoyant). The Dead Sea has very high salinity (it is more dense) meaning people who go swimming in it find they are able to float on the surface without effort.
